Boralex closes refinancing of its U.S. debt

MONTREAL, June 27, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - Boralex Inc. (" Boralex " or the
" Corporation ") (TSX: BLX) has completed a long-term refinancing for
an amount of US$90 million secured by two of its U.S. power stations.

The refinancing for the Hudson Falls and South Glens Falls power
stations, both located in the State of New York with an installed
capacity of 46 MW and 14 MW, respectively, will allow the Corporation
to repay the current debt of US$70.7 million encumbering these assets,
fund the required debt reserves, and finally free up an amount to
support its development projects.

This non-recourse financing, which was arranged by Bank of America
Merrill Lynch and TD Securities, bears interest at an annual rate of
3.51% and will be amortized by semi-annual payments over a 12-year
period. Subject to certain customary conditions, funding has been
scheduled on September 3, 2013, which corresponds to the maturity date
of the current debt.

Boralex was represented by law firm K&L Gates LLP.
